Changing

When words fail
And silence deceives
When shadows break
And sunlight recedes

When friends are not friends
And the world is a stranger
When happiness is fatal
And smiles bring danger

When life isn't worth living
And you're ready to die
When all hope is lost
And you've said your goodbyes

Tempt fate and walk on
Look yourself in the eyes
Follow your soul
Instead of your lies

Look to your Father
He's waiting above
He's waiting to guide you
And show you His love

Push the shadows away
And let sunlight reappear
Let your words speak
And dissenigrate the silence of fear


Hope,
Alicia A. Renzelman

What wonderful words of encouragement for the weary of life. Inspiring. Thank you.

When one in despair finds the light streaming through a crack it always guides one to inspiration, great poem here describing the depths one can sink and the hope that can surface when the odds seem impossible.
